Your street, rich street or poor

Used to always be sure, on your street

There's a place in your heart you know from the start

Can't be complete outside of the street

Keep moving on through the joy and the pain

Sometimes you got to look back

To the street again

Would you prefer all those castles in Spain

Or the view of your street from your window pane

And you walked around in the heart of town

Listening for that sound

And the street only knew your name

Well the street only knew your name, your name



Well Walter and John, Katie and Ron

Used to hang out by the corner lamp light

Get together and sing some songs

Like rhythm and blues you make me feel alright

That were long before fortune and fame

Nothing to lose and so much to gain

Everyone knew who everyone was

And they knew it because of the street



And you walk around in the heart of town

Listening for that sound

While the street only knew your name

Well the street only knew your name, your name



And you walk around in the heart of town

Listening for that sound

While the street only knew your name

The street only knew your name, your name

Sing it, bebopaloola

Bruce(?) and John

Well the street only knew your name
